Answer:
Cuando Cristóbal Colón tocó tierra tras su travesía del Atlántico, en 1492, no imaginaba todavía que cambiaría el curso de la historia para siempre.
Tampoco pensaría que de allí a pocos años desencadenaría una lucha entre las dos mayores potencias económicas y militares de la época, España y Portugal, por hacerse con las riquezas de ese territorio aún desconocido para los europeos.
Dos años después, los Reyes Católicos, Isabel y Fernando, y el de Portugal, Juan II, llegaron a un compromiso y firmaron en Tordesillas (entonces Reino de Castilla) un pacto para repartirse las tierras "descubiertas y por descubrir" fuera de Europa.
Explanation:
Hi there. The way this question is stated is going to need some input from you to infer what was meant by the language.
This answer would be True. Because opportunity cost means more of one and less of another in simple terms, since in an economy we cannot utilize all of our resources at one time.
But I would caution that the language is in the simplest of terms! Since a more thorough definition would be that opportunity cost is the amount lost by not taking the next-best alternative. If your teacher and lesson usually describe opportunity cost and other terms simply, then I would say to go for it and choose True.
But if your lesson seems to be strict on definitions, then maybe that isn't the best definition. I would say it is good enough though because although simple, it does encompass the whole idea.
I hope this helps!
